I tend to find most damp issues are in fact caused by the tenants. Never open windows and dry clothes on the radiators

So how do you get kids clothes dry when it's the middle of fucking winter and raining and you haven't got a tumble dryer, which eat money you also haven't got?
When I was a student, all my crap digs were crap because some **** of a landlord never spent a penny on them and didn't give a fuck, as long as he was coining it in.
Obviously not all landlords are cunts, but quite a lot of them are.

You dry them on the radiators but leave the windows open a bit........it's not so difficult really.

Drying clothes on a radiator isn't a problem for this family as the heating is knackered.
When my boiler stopped working I called my landlord and she asked what time I was getting home THAT day. She sent a fella round at 7 job done by 7.05 (only needed new batteries in the thing on the wall that sets the temperature). She's amazing compared to that twat.
I think the council should inspect the homes they are paying for and make sure cowboy landlords are not taking the piss.

...and end up with youngsters with chest complaints and colds from droughts, or spend a small fortune turning the heating up.
Are you sure you've thought this through?

Errr, i think it may well be difficult if the heating isn't working in the first place.

Only in the cellar can we argue about the best way to dry clothes.

Not everyone can wear new Savile Row suits everyday like you do mate.
Even if they are Jimmy Savile's Row.
I dried a pair of socks under the grill once after being thrown out by an irate girlfriend after popping out for some milk with a full wallet and returning four days later from the Cheltenham festival with a hangover and an overdraft.

I got told a great story once from a guy I worked with who went out for a newspaper and called his wife from Nigeria because he had found work. Didn't even tell her he was off just arrived home 8 months later
